No fee will be allowed to a private medical practitioner where a

The following has been sent from the War Office to Magistrates'
Clerks with the above Form of Return :-

The Attention of the Committing Magistrate is particularly requested to the following Memorandum.

1. The particulars given in evidence before the magistrate relating

(a) A form for these returns may be obtained from the War Office. This form is altered to such form, which is somewhat different to the one in the Mutiny Act.

It is important for the public service, and for the interest of the deserter, that this part of the return should be accurately filled up, and the details should be inserted by the magistrate in his own handwriting, or, under his direction, by his clerk.

c. 10.

19 & 20 Vict. to the apprehension or surrender of the deserter should be fully stated, in order that the Secretary at War may be enabled to decide whether any and what reward should be given for the apprehension; or whether the deserter is entitled to a favourable report of his case to his commanding officer if he shall have voluntarily surrendered; or if having been apprehended, he shall have confessed his desertion.

Id. s. 50.

2. If a military medical officer be at or near the place, he will inspect the deserter, and report as to his fitness, or unfitness, for military service; and if the deserter be considered unfit, the cause of his unfitness must be specified; if there be no military medical officer at or near the place (which fact should be so stated), the deserter should be, in like manner, inspected and reported upon by a private medical practitioner, to whom a fee of 2s. 6d. may be paid by the gaoler, to whose custody the deserter may be committed.

3. The fee upon the commitment of a deserter is 28., which may also be paid by the gaoler.

4. The subsistence of a deserter, while in custody, is 6d. a day; this sum, and the fees to the private medical practitioner, and to the magistrate's clerk, will be repaid to the gaoler by the escort.

5. Magistrates are particularly requested to transmit to the Secretary at War, with the least possible delay after the commitment of a deserter, a Descriptive Return, upon this form, properly filled up, in order that the man may not be unnecessarily detained in civil custody. B. HAWES.
